wadau, munipee mawaidha, i want to buy a smartphone for a certain cousin of mine. nilifika shags nikakuta cuzo wangu wa nguvu bado anatumia ile phone amekua nayo tangu @1824 na imejaa mashida skuizi so hua anaomba cuzo wengine na marafiki phone kiasi ndio aweze kuvibe madem whatsapp. vile nilifika alicheki niko na phone mpya akaniuliza kaa naweza msave na ile yangu ingine but hio ilishaa kufdead so akaomba yenye niko nayo aweke sim yake atext madem fulani na school mates nikampea na nikaona naweza mwokolea sana if i get him a phone.
at first niliona niishie tao ni buy zile itel za 3 to 4k, nikakumbuka ni 2018 na ye ni mtu wangu wa nguvu so afadhali nimlete a decent smartphone yenye iko na screen ya 5’’ 720p atleast na camera swafi ya front and back na pia 4g atleast coz thats future proof na a stand out out from these itels,birds everyone has huko. bei ikifika 10 to 11k juu ya 4g nisawa pia. (you can stop reading from here)
jana na leo madem fulani yenye/mwenye alikua aki text (oswahili na usungu yangu hukuanga mbovu saidii, nadhani ni ‘wenye’) anyway, dem alituma text jana whatsapp aki dhani bado anaongelesha cuzo akisema akuje kwao usiku wa meetup kwa store ya kuni, nikacheki hivo nikapigia cuzo simu but alikua mteja juu simu yake ni mashida tu, i called my other cousin and asked him if the guy is around akasema nope, jamaa ako hasol, nikamshow vile dem amesema na amshow jamaa hivo akikam. apparently he forgot to tell him, na hivyo tu opportunity ikaenda, sad.
mtu yangu yenyewe anateseka sana (watu wengi pia), lazima mafisi wanaraukia madem jamaa hua ana text na phone zao. mshande yake nae ni 250 kwa siku, economy ni mbaya, responsibilities ni mob. serikal ni corrupt and pumbaff from the lowest to the highest office. life is hard man, alot harder for some people. every year life becomes harder than it was the previous year due to corruption that also goes up a notch every year. tajiri ana tajirika na maskini anakuwa maskini saiidi na wenye wako katikati wanapambana. nimeona thread fulani ati sijui “Pray for Chris kirubi”, unataka kuombea hiyo nyangau yenye imesaidia ku faq economy na ku faq maisha ya watu ipone ndio iendele kufanya hivyo? SMDH!.
anyway, jamaa babake ali pass away 2016 mtu wangu akiwa form 3, ikabaki ni yeye ana struggle kulisha his younger siblings. with 250 a day income. ananunulia family yake maziwa, majani, sukari, kila siku na anamake sure wameteremsha hio chai na mandazi. simu itamsaidia but naona pia nikihelp fix their 2bodabodas his father left behind yenye haijawai tumika tangu a pass away, nitakua nimemhelp sana juu sometime back nikibonga na yeye about life mans alinishow sometimes ye hu contemplate suicide but hawezi fanya hivo kwasabu nani ata baki hapo ku defend his family? pains me to see people close to me suffering. he has been saving up to fix the bodas but naona hapo ntam help juu boda yenye ataendesha itamletea 800 to 1500 kwa siku na hio ingine ilete 400 kwa siku. not a bad upgrade from 250 a day
poleni kwa thread mrefu but imebidi ni rant kiasi vile maisha ni ngumu na vile serikal ina tu faq bana. anyway, mulete mawaidha ya simu, na pahali nita nunua.
